Update to 8u144?

[volphy]

Is update to 8u144 planned to be added soon?

Are there any obstacles preventing it?

We pull OpenJDK from Debian and Alpine's package repositories (as can be seen in the relevant Dockerfile for each variant), so we cannot package a version which they do not contain.

The obstacle is upstream with Alpine. The openjdk package is only available on the edge channel. https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/openjdk8

Both Debian and Alpine are currently at 8u151. 👍
